Fukui Prefecture –  Kimono Photo Session
Experience authentic Japanese culture in Fukui with Visual Factory’s kimono photo sessions. Located just 9 minutes from Fukui Station, we offer three unique plans: Irodori (studio), Miyabi (outdoor), and Hana (outdoor + lunch). Guests wear high-quality uchikake bridal kimono or montsuki hakama, provided by Kouzaburou Wedding (est. 1960). Professional photographers deliver edited photo data on the same day, making it convenient for travelers. Reservations are available through an English booking form, with support also by email or phone. A memorable, high-quality experience for FITs, couples, and small groups.
Kochi Prefecture – Special Niyodo Blue Day Tour
Discover the spirit of Shikoku with this special sightseeing taxi plan by the Niyodo Blue Tourism Council! In just one day, you can experience two unique traditions: a mini-pilgrimage to one of the sacred 88 temples—less crowded than those in Kochi City—while dressed in traditional pilgrim attire, followed by a relaxing cruise on a graceful yakatabune boat. Glide across the breathtakingly clear waters of the Niyodo River, often called “miraculous blue,” and soak in the peace of nature. This combination of spiritual journey and riverside retreat promises an unforgettable autumn memory in Shikoku.   Learn More or Contact
Visit Kinosaki – Private Baths in Kinosaki Onsen
Since ancient times, Kinosaki Onsen has welcomed all who wish to benefit from the town's therapeutic waters. For many guests, however, diving straight into one of the seven public hot springs and sharing the waters with others can be quite the daunting experience. For overnight visitors in Kinosaki Onsen, many inns provide private bathing experiences for guests to enjoy either in complete privacy or with family/friends.   Learn More or Contact
